DISH-WASHING APPARATUS.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, ANNIE BABCOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dish- Washihg Apparatus; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and fi res of reference marked thereon, which orm a part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in apparatus for washing dishes and consists of a simple and eflicient device whereby dishes may be thoroughl cleansed by being placed in an open work receptacle or basket'and adapted, as a crank or handle is turned, to beraised and lowere in a receptacle containing water.

The invention comprises various details of construction, combinat ons and arrangements of parts whlch will be hereinafter fully described and then specifically defined in the appended claims.

4 I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a dish 4 washing apparatus embodying the features of my'invention, and Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the same.

Reference now beingvhad to the details of letter, A designates the base of the dev1ce from which rise standards B, apertured for the reception of the shaft C, having eccentrics D mounted, one upon each end thereof, on which shaft "a handle E'is mounted. Said standards are Specification of Letters Patent.

means for rotatin provided with elongated slots F, and Kis a bar mounted in said slots and adapted to rest upon the circumferences of said eccentrics. A basket, preferably of wireopen work and designated by letter N, is suspended from said bar by the handles N extending over the latter.

The dishes to be cleansed are placed withj in the basket which rests in a pan or rece tacle of water. By turning the handle, t e eccentrics are rotated and the bar is caused to be raised and lowered, riding upon the circumference of the eccentrics. As the bar rises and lowers, it being guided in said slots, the basket will be moved therewith and be raised and lowered in the water within the receptacle, thus thoroughly cleansing the dishes.

What I claim to be new is z 1. A dish washing apparatus comprising a horizontally disposed, rotatable shaft, eccentrics-fixed thereto, means for rotating the same a bar. riding upon the circumference of said eccentrics, means for guiding the bar as it is raised and lowered, and a dish receptacle suspended from said Bar.

2. A dish 'washin a paratus com rising uprightstandards w icli are vertical y slot-. ted, a shaft journaled in said standards, ec-

upon the circumferences of said eccentrics and guided within said slots, a dish holdin receptacle suspended from said bar, an
